Dear Mr. Lionel, Your feedback truly warms my heart! It means the world to know I could create a positive and memorable experience for you in Egypt. Your kind words about your experience with me are especially rewarding. It was a pleasure guiding you and your kind family, and I'm honored that you'd consider me for your future adventures in this amazing country!
“A great trip to Cairo”
We did a great 2 day tour with Kerolos and his brother Tony. Kerolos was a very good communicator. He had some good suggestions for the trip, keeping in mind also how long it takes to get from one site to another. We visited the pyramids and the sphinx and on day 2, we visited old cairo, some shops and the museum of culture. Kerolos not only made sure we could visit these sites comfortably and safely, he also told many interesting facts about them. We also loved the many photo opportunities :) Traveling in Cairo without a guide would have been much more challenging as it's a very busy city. Traffic is crazy and normally shopkeepers can be very obtrusive. Kerolos made this experience very pleasant. He arranged a very good driver and kept everybody at bay. A special shoutout to both Tony (the kids loved the conversations with him) and the driver, who got us comfortably through crazy traffic. Thanks Kerolos, for a wonderful experience!

Thank you so much, Erwin, for taking the time to share your experience and feedback about your recent tours in Egypt! It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to show you the beauty and history of Egypt. I'm glad that I was able to share my knowledge and passion for the country with you, and I'm even more pleased to hear that you had a great time. Your kind words mean a lot to me, and I'm grateful for the chance to have met you. If you're ever back in Egypt, I would love to welcome you again and show you even more of what this amazing country has to offer.
“A day at Giza & Saqqara”
A very relaxed tour giving us plenty of time at all the important venues. Great photo opportunities which will last a lifetime. Good advice given by Kerolos who provided us with guidance throughout the day. Knowledgeable and helpful, at all times. My young sons enjoyed the experience and I would certainly recommend Kerolos to anyone visiting Cairo for the first time ( like us )! Do not underestimate the importance of having a local to negotiate all entrance fees and pitfalls that will certainly come your way if you plan an excursion on your own. My advice to Kerolos,…… find a driver that is trustworthy! In a world where tourists rely on honesty and integrity your driver let you down today!
